Electrical

The car's alternator does the job of keeping your battery charged and producing the energy to run the electrical accessories in your car. Signs of trouble with your alternator could be a whining noise from the engine as you speed up, or your car's battery light staying on.

Transmissions are not an electrical component! Your car has one of two types of transmissions, either manual or automatic. If your car has a manual transmission, there's an extra foot pedal on the floorboard, which operates the clutch.
